Testimonials

The Leclaire Hypnobirthing Method broke the myth that it had to be a certain way. I totally transcended the pain of childbirth.

Claire Anne Murphy

It is a one day vacation. The setting is beautiful and healing. The information is tops and the lunch is delicious. We felt rested, empowered and confident. What a lovely, relaxing and educational day.

Georgeanne and Andy

I used this method on my own. My husband read the book and listened to the tape once. I did one chapter of the book each week and listened to the tape only once a week. I was mesmerized. It worked! My doctor couldn't believe it. It was truly a natural and beautiful experience.

Annie
